Moshammer^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D W O'Connor| T: J McAuley| OR: 75| BF

6/5

Thrice-raced gelding. 15/8, second of 12 in maiden at this course (6f) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Might have more to come, so this looks a good chance to open his account.

Form: 452-

Royal Tribute^p²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S D Bowen⁽¹⁰⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 72

10/1

Fair gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Richard Hannon when respectable third of 11 in claimer at this course (7f, 40/1) 2 days ago, never nearer. Needs to build on that.

Form: 4/4880-3

(5)

Troy Top

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: G M Lyons

5/1

No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 6f Steve Prescott and unreliable winner up to 6f Hot Hannah. Dam 5f winner. Bred for speed and represents a top yard, so warrants respect.

Twilight Man²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A J Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 66

11/4

Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 28 days ago, running on late. Claims if he's in the same form, but struggles for consistency.

Form: 2/04063-

100/1

Moshammer (6/5), Twilight Man (11/4), Troy Top (5/1), Cheval Blanc (15/2), Royal Tribute (10/1), Destacado (28/1), Mambacita (100/1)

MOSHAMMER came clear of the remainder with a promising newcomer over C&D last month and a performance of similar merit should be enough for him to get off the mark in this rather weak maiden. Troy Top, on paper, has the potential to be above average so he's feared most on debut, although a return to form from Cheval Blanc would put him in the mix.
